This post con­tains the ger­man trans­la­tion of the ar­ti­cle “Switz­er­land: Here are my views on Burqa” by Ka­cem El Ghaz­zali. No need to re­peat it here, please vi­sit his blog to read it in english.

I have just met Kha­cem El Gha­zaali on Face­book. He is a young man from Mo­rocco, who had to flee due to being per­se­cu­ted for his blog­ging ac­tivi­ties. He as­ked for asylum in Switz­er­land, where he was ta­ken pro­vi­sio­nally as of now. He cur­rently li­ves so­me­where in the ger­man speaking part of Switz­er­land. A news­pa­per re­port about him can be found here (in ger­man). So, I just found his Face­book pro­file, and then this re­port about his ar­ri­val in the Swiss asylum sys­tem: “Switz­er­land WAKE UP!”

In ano­ther ar­ti­cle, he talks about his stance about the burqa: “Switz­er­land: here are my views on Burqa”.
